Your Smallest Teaching Moment Can Become Someone's Ripple

DayBook September 11

---

Teaching begins with a single small act—a word, a gesture, a moment.
Like ripples in water, these moments expand beyond what we can see.
The true reward of teaching is witnessing these quite ripples of change.

Toss a stone in the water
and watch the ripples form, grow, expand,
and reach places beyond your sight.

Teaching works the same way.
A single moment—your tone, your presence, your encouragement—
can become a ripple that spreads quietly
through a learner’s practice, confidence, and future.

The rewards of teaching do not come instantly.

They flow from the experience itself,
as you witness small ripples turning into meaningful change
in ways you may never fully see.
